By contrast, unless you are dealing with extremely shonky third-party merchants, I have never heard of an issue with the Amazon system, and in fact it is one of just three companies that I trust to hold my CC details. I have never been scammed in over ten years of online purchasing.

You are comparing apples and oranges. Paypal payment system is as secure as any for folks making purchases or donating to organizations. The "horror" stories you read is for folks that use Paypal to collect payment. I won't debate Paypal for collecting money from customers but again using Paypal for purchasing items online is as secure as any other service.
